Westbrook with a pretty bad turnover. He's really struggling tonight. He's 0-for-5 from the field and has 2 turnovers. Amazing how a player can look totally different from one game to another. He was remarkable in Game 5.

Griffin is 5 for 8 from the line. The Clippers are shooting only 58% on free throws, and in a game that's going to be as tight as this one, that won't get the job done. Paul is also 2 for 8 from the field. Still, the Clippers lead by six. Westbrook is still scoreless from the field.

Rihanna was just shown on the jumbotron sporting a cropped pink wig. Still looked gorgeous. Wouldn't be able to say that about pretty much anyone else.

Former Clippers guard (now with Pelcians) Eric Gordon in the building

Westbrook now 0 for 6 from the field, and Redick follows with another left-handed drive.
5/16/2014 4:27:21 AM melissa.rohlin
Reddick has 12 points for the Clippers, he's giving them a much-need boost. The Clippers are up, 62-54, with 5:34 left in the third.

@Mike: Is this the same point guard we saw in Game 5?

Blake. Just. Missed. A. Dunk.
5/16/2014 4:29:54 AM Mike.James
The Clippers are managing to hang on under the Durant onslaught. But Griffin on two possessions missed a dunk and a point-blank turnaround. Missed opportunities.

Clippers hot start long forgotten - down to 40.8% shooting from the field - Thunder within five
5/16/2014 4:31:04 AM Eric Pincus
Thunder ball - dangerous time for LAC - until Westbrook throws the ball to Ryan Hollins on the Clippers' bench

Darren Collison celebrated as Thunder called a time-out during a run of points by the Clippers. (Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times)

Brutal possession for the Clippers, saved by Westbrook's wild turnover on the other end. Then Paul scores to put it back to seven.

OKC hanging around..and hanging around..

Westbrook finally scores, off a feed from Nick Collison. Then Barnes passes up an outside shot, drives the lane and throws it down hard with a left. Higher percentage on that shot.
5/16/2014 4:33:22 AM Eric Pincus
One-handed touch pass from Blake to Jordan was very sharp - 68-61
5/16/2014 4:33:25 AM Mike.James
Here's a big surprise: Durant is 7 for 7 from the line. Ibaka apparently done for the game with a bad calf.
5/16/2014 4:34:23 AM Eric Pincus
Thunder now shooting 42.0% - better than Clippers 41.3% - turnovers though - OKC 12 to LAC 4

What a pass by @blakegriffin32 tapping it in mid-air to @deandrejordan for alley-oop layup. LAC 68, OKC 61
5/16/2014 4:34:41 AM Mike.James
Blake Griffin has eight assists, only one fewer than Westbrook and Paul.
5/16/2014 4:38:19 AM melissa.rohlin
Durant with a dunk. The Clippers lead has been cut to 3, 68-65, with two minutes remaining in the third.
by Bill Plaschke via twitter 5/16/2014 4:38:46 AM
Ibaka doubtful return with calf injury...Little more urgency to Thunder now..
5/16/2014 4:38:47 AM Eric Pincus
Blake Griffin in the post - a badly needed basket - Thunder very active defensively
by OKC THUNDER via twitter 5/16/2014 4:39:15 AM
Russell delivers his 6th assist of the quarter, to KD for the dunk. Thunder trails Clippers by 5, late Q3.
5/16/2014 4:39:20 AM melissa.rohlin
Westbrook should just stop shooting. Tonight is not his night.

Westbrook is 1-for-8 from the field, yet the Thunder are only down by 7 points.
5/16/2014 4:39:56 AM Eric Pincus
Glen Davis wedged the ball into the side of the rim - an ugly attempt - but it was so ugly, it threw off the Thunder - D Collison scores on the offensive putback
5/16/2014 4:40:32 AM Eric Pincus
Mr. October - Reggie Jackson with a dunk - 72-69 LAC
5/16/2014 4:41:17 AM Eric Pincus
Nick Collison for 3? Nick Collison for 3! Tied after three at 72
5/16/2014 4:41:22 AM Mike.James
Darren Collison with a great follow. Haven't seen a lot of him tonight. Westbrook misses, then makes his own follow. But a turnover by Paul results in a breakaway. It's definitely nervoustime for the Clippers ... and another three-point shot by Griffin certainly isn't the answer.
by OKC THUNDER via twitter 5/16/2014 4:41:31 AM
Driving slam from Reggie Jackson and 3-pointer from Nick Collison and this game is tied at 72, end of Q3. #ThunderVsClippers
5/16/2014 4:41:42 AM melissa.rohlin
The crowd is on its feet. Collison hits a three-pointer to tie it at 72-72. End of third quarter. Here we go againnnnnnnnn

#okcthunder Westbrook with eight consecutive playoff scoring totals of at least 23. Regular-season low: 12 points vs. Clippers, Nov. 21.

END 3: #Clippers and Thunder tied at 72. @blakegriffin32 18 pts, 8 asts, 7 rebs. MORE STATS: nba.com/tvc/index.html…
